I'm seeing bribes all over this case. Those prison contracting companies gotta keep the cells filled one way or another.

I have no faith in U.S. ability to do anything positive through military action in the middle east until the whole apparatus isn't ruled almost completely by a sick self-sustaining conglomeration of corrupt defense industry lobbying, xenophobic Christian fundamentalism, and fear mongering propaganda orchestrated by an alliance of the former.  If we ever get that mess untangled, I might be less cynical and pre-emptively horrified at the suggestion of the U.S. military being involved in anything.

That was glorious.  Thank you.

No. But this is not even politics. It's literally crimes against humanity in the most aggravating forms possible.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Except paid worse, somehow. Also occasionally outright forced to work, from what I understand. For profit penal slavery is a thing in the US of A, these days. Incidentally, I do happen to wish terrible things upon each and every one of the bastards running the private prison industry. Also try where I can do avoid doing business with anyone that does business with them, which is harder than you'd think. For extra delicious something-vile, the private prison industry is also where a fair amount of US production work has disappeared to, where the prisoners get paid pennies on the dollar for what they do -- much of which would be working to low middle class jobs if it weren't being done on the backs of what amounts to penal slaves. The ones actually stealing jobs from the american public, that.

USA 2014 -- an economy partially tied in with domestic for-profit slavery. Yup. Amazingly little media attention to the subject, ha.

oh, that's not really a 2014 thing

you guys only got rid of slavery for a brief moment all things considered

it's too profitable to not treat workers like human beings and there are no incentives to stop doing that so there you are

Oh yeah, it's been going on for a while now. Not really something new. Definitely an example of why you don't fucking privatize any portion of your criminal justice system, regardless.

Where is the American Solzhenitsyn to write about the Archipelag ...

uh

do you know of any good-sounding acronym for USA prison system?

EDIT: Also it is bizarre to watch the USA slowly turning into USSR Mk.II.

It's also known as the Prison-Industrial Complex, so I suppose you could shorten that to PIC.

I can't even read that.   I don't need the specifics.   I know the prison system is beyond abhorrent and that's enough.
